Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 589 If You’re Unhappy, Just Leave

“Mommy...” Rainy tightly hugged onto Xia Ruoxin’s neck. Her small face had become red from crying.

“It’s fine, it’s fine.” Xia Ruoxin hastily placed down Rainy who was wailing uncontrollably and picked up the doll on the floor. She carefully used her sleeves to wipe the doll, but it was just that her tears dripped incessantly onto the doll’s face.

She wiped the doll’s face periodically as if she was wiping her eyes. Finally, the doll was wiped clean. It was only then that she returned the doll back to Rainy who was sobbing breathlessly. “Alright, don’t cry. Look, Dolly’s back.” She carefully hugged her daughter in her arms. It was just that her voice was choked up and repressed like hell.

Rainy tightly hugged the doll and stuck her small face closely to the doll’s face. Xia Ruoxin picked up her daughter and made her sit on her lap.

“Rainy, be good. Don’t tell this to Daddy, okay? Daddy’s already very tired. We can’t make him any more exhausted, understood?” She knew that this was being unfair to her daughter; however, she really didn’t want to create too much trouble for Gao Yi. The father and daughter of the Bai family were not easy to dismiss.

Gao Yi already had such tense relations with them. If she added onto it, there was the possibility of a world war breaking out, causing both sides to suffer losses in the end.

Sometimes, she really hoped that she could think a little less about others, and think more for herself. However, it was impossible. She couldn’t be so selfish. Gao Yi had already given her too much. She had never repaid him before; that’s why this time, she was just going to suck it up.

Perhaps these things would happen again in the future; however, she was going to try her best to protect her daughter. She wasn’t going to let her daughter become the second Xia Ruoxin.

“Okay, Rainy?” She lowered her head, soothingly caressing her daughter’s small cheeks. Rainy lifted her head and gently nodded.

“Sorry, Rainy, Mommy made you cry.” She cried out miserably. She really didn’t want to let her daughter suffer any more harm.

Rainy hugged her doll, her small face still extremely red.

“Mommy, can we go home? To Daddy and our home?” Rainy lifted her head and softly said. Rainy didn’t like this place.

“Yes, we’ll be able to go back soon.” Xia Ruoxin replied to her daughter with words that she wanted to hear. However, returning... she didn’t know when she was going to return as well. She didn’t know when she could return. Gao Yi’s household was really more complicated than she had imagined.

She carefully patted her daughter’s back and stared unblinkingly at the door just like that. He wasn’t going to come in again, right?

At that moment in another room, a mother and two sons sat together. They seemed to have completely no idea that somebody had already given Xia Ruoxin a large greeting.

“Xiao Yi, is that child yours?” Although she knew that it was impossible, Wei Lan still asked to confirm it.

Gao Yi shook his head. “Mom, that child isn’t mine. She’s Ruoxin’s daughter. However, she calls me Daddy now; and she’s become my daughter as well.”

Although she had known this from the start, Wei Lan couldn’t help but feel a sense of disappointment. What a pity, that sure was an adorable child.

Gao Xin sat next to Gao Yi and placed his hands onto Gao Yi’s shoulder. “Mom, you’re thinking too much. The child is adorable. I became an uncle, and you’ve become a grandmother. Isn’t this a happy occasion?

“As long as Brother likes her, that’s enough. Since when have you seen him care so much for another person? Don’t you feel that right now, he seems more like a human and not a robot?” His words were perhaps a little too harsh. However, it was pretty much true. Gao Yi smiled more than before... although he still looked the same when he fought with Bai Zhenfeng. Nevertheless, when interacting with Xia Ruoxin and that child, Gao Yi was surprisingly gentle; and even he was stunned to see that.

Wei Lan thought for a bit. Indeed, that child was very adorable. Although she was another person’s child-really, as long as her son was happy, it was fine. Her eldest son had finally found something that he wanted so she was just going to let him have it.

“Mom, so you’ve accepted Ruoxin and Rainy?” Gao Yi asked upon seeing his mother’s expression relax. Actually, since the moment his mother gripped Xia Ruoxin’s hand, he could already tell that she had long accepted Ruoxin.

“Yes, Ruoxin is a good woman.” Wei Lan nodded her head. She didn’t have any Buddhist beliefs, and she also didn’t care too much about a person’s background. As long as her child liked the person, she was fine. Furthermore, she herself had also gotten remarried with a child.

“It’s just that...” Wei Lan let out a sigh. She stood up, her expression faintly becoming troubled. “I agree with it, but I know that your Uncle Bai isn’t going to agree to this. He had always wanted you to marry Bai Luoyin, and it’s not as if you don’t know that character of his.”

She agreed and gave her consent; however, Bai Zhenfeng would never agree. Although Gao Yi wasn’t his blood-related son, nominally, there were still-in fact-father and son.

Gao Xin inevitably curled his lips. “If he doesn’t agree, then he doesn’t agree. Does he still think that we’re kids? He controlled the first half of our lives. Is he going to control our future as well?”

Gao Yi crossed his arms in front of his chest and stood up as well. “Mom, I brought Ruoxin back not for him to see her. It was also not to get his consent. I just wanted you to meet her and to let you know that I’ve already found the woman that I want. Lastly, to tell you that I’m living very well now.”

He had never cared whether Bai Zhenfeng agreed or not. If he was that easy to persuade, then he wouldn’t have left the house for three years, only coming back now. This house... if it wasn’t for his mother and his younger brother, he definitely wouldn’t step half a foot into it.

“But, after all, he was the one who raised you.” Wei Lan still felt a little troubled. She understood. She understood everything. It was just that she really didn’t want her two sons to fight with Bai Zhenfeng to the point where reconciliation becomes impossible between them. When that happens, their family really wouldn’t be a family anymore.

“Mom...” Gao Xin suddenly stood up and placed his hands onto Wei Lan’s shoulder. Ever since Brother left the house, the only relative that he had was his mother. Since when was Bai Zhenfeng their family?

“Mom, if you’re unhappy living here, why don’t you just leave?”

Thinking back on how Bai Zhenfeng treated them, he felt terrible. The man who said he would take care of the two in the past but went back on his word eventually. However, he would not blame anyone. After all, he was not biological.

Just that, Bai Zhenfeng could not dictate these three their fates his whole life. They were humans, living beings... beings that are able to think themselves.

Wei Lan suddenly realized something and laughed bitterly at the end. She was already old. No matter if she was happy or not, more than half her life had already passed.
